## Description

This MCP server provides essential engineering calculations for mass concrete construction. It models the heat of hydration to predict the `calculate_peak_temperature` and assess cracking risks via `evaluate_thermal_differential`. Engineers can also determine necessary active cooling strategies using `calculate_cooling_requirements` and retrieve thermal resistance data with `get_insulation_thermal_resistance` to ensure structural integrity and prevent thermal cracking.

## Tools

### calculate_cooling_requirements
Determines the necessary active cooling measures to keep temperatures within safe limits

### calculate_peak_temperature
Determines the maximum internal temperature expected in a concrete element

### evaluate_thermal_differential
Calculates the temperature difference between the core and the surface to assess cracking risk

### get_insulation_thermal_resistance
Retrieves the thermal resistance coefficient for a specific insulation type

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What will be the peak temperature for a concrete element with 350 kg/m³ cement, 20°C placement, 15°C ambient, and dimensions of 2m x 2m x 2m with no insulation?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted peak temperature is 52.4°C, which indicates a thermal risk.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the thermal differential for a peak temperature of 55°C, ambient of 20°C, using heavy insulation for a 1m x 1m x 1m block.
```

**Response:** 
```
The temperature differential is 12.5°C, resulting in a Medium risk level.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is cooling required for a 60°C peak temperature if my target maximum is 50°C for a 3m x 3m x 3m element?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, cooling is required. The recommended strategy is pipe cooling with an estimated load of 450 kW.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I predict the maximum temperature in a concrete pour?**
You can use the `calculate_peak_temperature` tool by providing the cement content, placement temperature, ambient temperature, and element dimensions.

**How do I know if my concrete is at risk of thermal cracking?**
Use the `evaluate_thermal_differential` tool to calculate the temperature difference between the core and the surface. It will return a risk level (Low, Medium, or High).

**Can this tool help with cooling pipe planning?**
Yes, the `calculate_cooling_requirements` tool determines if active cooling is needed and provides the estimated cooling load and strategy.
